"Robert Bresson’s ode to freedom is an astounding tour de force. As a prison-break movie, it is a thriller of high suspense, told by a master who eschews artifice. He relies on precisely observed action, a sophisticated and spare technique (no one makes more of off-camera space and sound), and a direct, first-person narration to achieve a fully realized world of remarkable intensity in which our identification with the protagonist is total. His unshakeable faith and persistent effort elevate us all. His liberation is ours."

Take everything good about the first movie, add William Sadler in what is surely his most iconic performance ever, members of Faith No More, a performance from goddam Primus (!), a sequence in hell that's genuinely unnerving as shit, evil robot versions of Bill and Ted, Hal Landon Jr's weirdly accurate impression of Ted, and a sprinkling of Pam Grier, and you get an absurdly wild sequel that tries to one up it's predecessor at every turn, and mostly succeeds.

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is a ride. Love it.

Bob Dylan recommended All Quiet on the Western Front in Books (curated)

"All Quiet on the Western Front is a horror story. This is a book where you lose your childhood, your faith in a meaningful world, and your concern for individuals. You’re stuck in a nightmare. Sucked up into a mysterious whirlpool of death and pain. You’re defending yourself from elimination. You’re being wiped off the face of the map. Once upon a time you were an innocent youth with big dreams about being a concert pianist. Once you loved life and the world, and now you’re shooting it to pieces."
